The Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival takes place each September at Blackthorne Resort, set on over 100 acres with camping facilities, motel rooms, an inground pool, a Tiki Bar, and a pavilion. The festival grounds come alive with vendors, bike builders competing in a build-off, bike games, bike artists, an MX stunt show, live bands, and bars—including a martini bar. Alongside standard camping amenities, guests can enjoy a large indoor bar with food, drinks, and top regional musicians, plus a dining room, beer garden, aerial burnout pit, multiple outdoor bars, and a massive outdoor stage for headline performances.
